For the Summer Program we accept children aged 2.5 to 5 years (20% are allowed to be between 2 years 3 months and 2 years and 6 months). Within this group we create a Junior Program for children up to age 3.5 and a Senior Program for children aged 3.5 to 5 years. One group will be in the East room and one in the West room.

Many families appreciate having a summer program that satisfies both their preschool child and their kindergarten-aged child. The two groups are in separate classrooms to allow for activities appropriate to each age level.

The summer program can also serve as a great way to prepare your child for preschool or kindergarten in the fall. Children about to enter junior kindergarten gain from being in a group with older children entering senior kindergarten and from being introduced to more challenging activities. We find that children who have attended the summer program have a much easier adjustment to separating from their parents in September.

The Program runs from July 4 to August 11, from 8:30–11:30am or 8:30–1:00pm with lunch. We offer a two-day week or a four-day week with your child attending Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs or all four days. We are closed on Fridays in the summer.

There is a two-week minimum to attend the Summer Program. We ask that those two weeks be consecutive if your child is in the Junior Program.
